MARVIN BOWER’S SELFLESSNESS by E. H. Edersheim

“The greatest thing Marvin ever did was to give his shares away. If you look at the demise of other entrepreneurial places like this, you often see the emerging greed of the founder. . . . But our founder Marvin Bower didn’t. If there is one thing, it’s hopeful if you’re an icon to be the beneficiary of longevity. . . . The fact that he bequeathed his wealth in the equity stakes to the firm, rather than squeeze every last drop of the dollar benefit that he could have, was . . . an enormous professional gift and role model gesture that all these other guys failed on.”

Peter Foy, former head of McKinsey's London Office
